"Why the Trump-Juncker love-in is bad news for Britain"
There’s an even more appealing takeaway that Juncker and chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier hope the U.K. will take heed of: Pick yourself a victory when one is handed to you on a platter. Just as everything Juncker offered Trump was in the indisputable best economic interest of the U.S., everything Barnier is offering the U.K. at the negotiating table is in Britain’s own best economic self-interest — according to the U.K. government’s own analyses.

"Far from watering down or weakening it, Labour’s code strengthens it by addressing forms of discrimination that the IHRA overlooked. For example, the definition omits any reference to discrimination against Jews, a key form of antisemitism.

The attacks on the new code, including those by some Labour MPs and a number of rabbis, are baffling. One has to wonder if all these people have read the code or indeed the IHRA press release."

It's sunless and sultry, here.

I love the hot weather - but we do need some rain. None is forecast for this area, though.

I remember a hot summer that we had quite some years ago when it was really hot during the day, but it rained quite dramatically nearly every night. It was glorious.

Here's the post 5.07 yesterday

This is from 2015 , more homework :-)--

" Jews don’t form a homogeneous voting bloc, but they have in the past been a barometer: long left-leaning, they strongly backed Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s before swinging heavily to New Labour in 1997.

This week, a poll for the Jewish -Chronicle found that 69 per cent of Jews intend to vote Tory next month, with Labour trailing on only 22 per cent. Moreover, while 64 per cent said David Cameron had the best attitude towards British Jewry, only 13 per cent picked Miliband as the best supporter of the community. The Jewish Chronicle poll found 73 per cent of Jews said the parties’ approach toward Israel and the Middle East was ‘very’ or ‘quite’ important in determining how they would vote, and by 65 to 10 per cent Cameron led Miliband on having the best attitude.

Community activists believe Miliband’s position on Israel has become such a sticking point that many Jews who traditionally vote Labour can’t bring themselves to do so. One said: ‘They have been forced to choose between their party and their support for Israel in a way they never thought they would be.’ Some have already made that choice: last autumn, Maureen Lipman declared that, for the first time in five decades, she wouldn’t be voting Labour. At the same time, Kate Bearman, a former director of Labour Friends of Israel, resigned her party membership.

Even some Jewish Labour activists believe the party has written the community off electorally. This could turn out to be a costly miscalculation. There are a string of marginals — Finchley and Golders Green, Hendon, Brent Central, Ilford North, Hornsey and Wood Green, Hampstead and Kilburn, Harrow East, Harrow West and Hove — where Miliband has little room for error and Jewish voters could provide the difference between victory and defeat.

The Labour leader has, says one sympathetic observer, shown a great deal of ‘carelessness’ in his dealings with the Jewish community. If that carelessness costs him the keys to No. 10, he continues, the ‘tragedy will be complete’. "

Today's Gdn antisemitism-ihra-definition-jewish-writers

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... sh-writers" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Apparently 44 countries 'accept' the IHRA definition , but it all looks like a can of worms ! And is it really part of UK Law, please ?

Reading the G about a week ago, the three or four 'examples' which the LP committee were not sure about /were excluding seemed dodgy to me too.

The Spectator article shows how very deeply all this is entwined with Israel. Inevitably so!

As an aside, was the Zionist Bitch insult to Margaret Hodge definitely sent by a labour member, or for example a Russian bot ?
